I am glad these Soldiers are doing their jobs. I do not like their being ID'ed with name and pictures down to hometown and family size.

"I do not like their being ID'ed with name and pictures down to hometown and family size."

Agreed to that. IIRC, a few years back I read a news article about the fellow who
actually had a higher confirmed kill count that Hathcock (info. below).
It seems that after his Vietnam stint, Mawhinney went on with a calm domestic life in
a small town (in Oregon?).
But when news slowly got around town of his Vietnam-era feat, he founs a fair number
of neighbors withdrawing from him.

"During Vietnam, as most know, Carlos Hathcock had 93 confirmed and Chuck Mawhinney
had 103 confirmed."
